As another proof that the California Auto Trade Association is organized for the protection of the public as well as the tradesman, the Orange County Auto Trades Association, which is a branch and part of the state organization, met at the Santa Ana Rubber Co., Monday night and adopted ways and means of putting tires bought or sold for junk in such shape that they cannot be painted and patched up and sold to the motorizing public as first class tires. The plan was discussed and endored by the state convention at San Diego, July 28th. "This does not interfere with repairing of tires which are worth repairing, but will do away with the practice of a tire being sold for junk at two or three cents a pound, then resold to some vulcanizer or tire re-builder who puts a tread on it, gives it a coat of tire paint, and sells it to the unsuspecting motorist for one-third or one-half the price of a new tire," said a tire dealer. "Such tires usually "blow" to pieces after running for three or four hundred miles." E. A. Beard, manager of the Pacific Telephone company, is on a vacation.

The first life lost in the surf at Balboa for many years was that of H. W. Palne of Redlands, when an attack of heart trouble overcame him as he was bathing at the foot of Ninth street, East Newport, Sunday afternoon. Mr. Palne was one of the best known citizens of Redlands, and for years had an international reputation as a polo player. He was the week-end guest of Charles Smith, and had been bathing with his host and a party of friends. Palne's absence was not noticed until some time after his death. When the body was recovered it was the verdict of medical men that it had been floating in the near-in breakers for more than half an hour. Efforts with a pulmotor proved unavailing.

This is the biggest tax collection for a like period ever made in the county.

Figures show that Orange county ranks third among the counties of California in tax collections, San Francisco and Los Angeles counties ranking first.

Chapman gusher continues to be the marvel of Southern California, and is now the greatest producing well in the State. famous producer is putting 4600 barrels of oil into the tanks every day and shows no signs of diminishing the great flow. On account of the wonderful showing the well is making the Union Oil Company is rushing work on the Chapman property and on adjoining properties at top speed. Just recently the Union located a new well on the Frank Morse property, a property lying in the center of the new field and regarded as very promising. The Union has two wells drilling on the Chapman, and is rigging up a third on the same property. Wells on four other properties are making fast time.

BEAN CROP SHORT With the bean harvest in Orange county now under way estimates indicate that the production of beans in Orange county this year will not be over twenty-five per cent of a normal crop for lima beans and twenty percent of a normal crop of blackeyes. Last year the county produced about 500,000 bags of limas. This year it will hardly get out more than 125,000 bags. The blackeye crop of the county last year was around 100,000, and this year it will do well to go over 20,000. These estimates are made by men well informed upon bean crop conditions. The dry year is responsible for the short crop. In addition to the fact that there was little moisture in the ground at planting time, weather conditions have not been favorable to production. Had June and July been foggy, instead of marked by hot dry spells, the production would have been much heavier than it is. Most of the blackeye beans in this county have been cut and threshing of blackeyes will start about August 20. Cutting of the earliest planting of lima beans commenced yesterday, and by the middle of next week lima cutting will be in full swing. Threshing J. N.

OLD RUBBERS DANGEROUS A Home Demonstration Agent reports that she was called into a home to see what was wrong with some peas that had recently been canned. The peas seemed a perfect product when first canned but in a few days became cloudy and began to spoil. On investigation it was found that the housewife had used rubber rings left over from last year. The only way to be sure of success in canning is to use good products, good jars, good covers, and good new rubber rings. The use of tire-fillers to take the place of air in Ford pleasure car and truck tires has reached a point where nearly 100,000 cars are so equipped. One large factory in Chicago has recently doubled its space in order to keep up with the growing demand for its product. The fact that some of the largest users of tire-fillers are industrial concerns which have made exhaustive tests would indicate that the idea had long since passed the experimental stage. It is claimed for the "filler" that it rides as easily as air, and prevents punctures; blowouts, FINAL CLEARANCE PRICES on all Summer Goods ARE NOW IN EFFECT Watch the Windows Falkenstein's Department Store NEW FAIRYLAND THEATRE The Popular Anaheim Playhouse NEW FAIRYLAND THEATRE The Popular Anaheim Playhouse Thursday—Charles Ray in his latest "Hay-foot, Straw-foot."

Weaver is in the county jail in default of $2000 bail. Weaver had a preliminary hearing in Justice Cox's court. The charge against him was brought by Charles L. Davis, garage man, who testified at the hearing that Weaver was employed by him solely as a demonstrator of automobiles and that he had no authority to sell them. Davis testified that an Auburn automobile which according to the complaint was valued at $1210, was sold to E. J. Marks, city attorney of Fullerton, Marks giving a used car in exchange, together with a check for $550. Weaver is charged with embezzling the check. Deputy Sheriff Charles A. Holbrook took the stand and testified that he had received information from Ohio that in September, 1916, Weaver had been given an indeterminate sentence in the Ohio state penitentiary following his conviction on a charge of stealing an automobile. There is a second complaint against Weaver, sworn to by Davis, in which the latter charges him with having uttered a fraudulent check for $1247.50. This complaint alleges that Weaver forged the name of Finley H. Houck to the check, which was drawn on the German American Bank of Anaheim. This charge against Weaver was not taken up. At the hearing on the embezzlement charge Deputy District Attorney Nelson appeared for the people. Anaheim Gazette, per year, $1.50, payable in advance.
